Mutual Consent Registry

When a child is adopted into a loving a family, it is standard procedure for a new birth certificate to be issued. The new birth certificate will have the adoptee’s new name, along with the names of the adoptive parents. All references to the adoptee’s birth name, the name of the adoptee’s birth parents, and the reasons of the adoption, are omitted.

Many people who have or have had family members with haemophilia will ask that their baby boys get tested soon after birth. About one-third of babies who are diagnosed with haemophilia have a new mutation not present in other family members. In these cases, a doctor might check for haemophilia if a newborn is showing certain signs of haemophilia. To make a diagnosis, doctors would perform certain blood tests to show if the blood is clotting properly. If it does not, then they would do clotting factor tests, also called factor assays, to diagnose the cause of the bleeding disorder.

Parents at very least deserve to be informed of medical procedures performed on their child and the possible results from said procedures. There is no other medical procedure where informed consent is not required prior to taking place. People may refuse, but at the very least they are given the information with that right. The mandatory function of NBS combined with the requirement to have information without any requirement to distribute that information has caused a lack in people knowing anything about the tests that are being performed. In 2009, the Consumer Task Force on Newborn Screening of the Genetic Alliance, a consumer advocacy organization, conducted a survey of 2,266 women age 18-45 regarding their attitudes on various issues relevant to newborn screening.

However, in the 1970’s people began to expand their horizon’s, and soon ventured out to explore other cultures; causing challenges towards the social movement on their views of a traditional family structure. This is why, “since the 1970’s three of the major shifts have occurred in family structure, gender roles, and economic concerns” (Jones, ASID, IIDA, IDEC and Phyllis Sloan Allen, 2009, p. 74).
